I knew I should've chosen Python over XHTML for my subject. Darn.

Heh. Never knew spambots can reply in Chinese (and what it said still doesn't make any sense). XD
Oh, and I can't see your extinct AWs (your links are wrong). D: 6523

Nice setup. :D
I think AC's snapper setup uses less chassis weight. Try your 2-extender setup on that and maybe you'll have enough weight for something else (like R0B0 said, maybe slippers). 6524

I'm in. Gonna tweak one of my NAR BWs when I'm done with the entrance exams. :D

Instead of a srimech, make it invertible instead.

Whoa. Sky High keeps on topping itself every match. First, it simply went OOTA. Then it went OOTW (walls). This time, I dunno how to call it this time. Maybe I'll call it... 'Team Rocket finish'. XD

Heh. I knew I shouldn't have made it too easy (yep, DM2 is in the works for Nary's AI), but I did expect that when I made a Destroyer clone (mine sent DM OOTA in about 10 seconds). XD
Great match, C33 (I got a better Tag Team bot in the works). Kinda disappointed that DM didn't get a single hammer out of XR, though. :P 6528

Servos' don't require power so just turn the slims to NPCs (or fasts if possible). Also, widen it a bit because the typhoon spikes intersect each other.

4 has a cute splash. But I'll go with 3.

Uneven symmetry = do not want.
Use the Side NPCFs and have the bulk of the motor outside the chassis so you can have a smaller chassis with the same components. Also, you don't need pistons. Static weapons would work. You should use the multi-extenders ONLY if the extender is in the chassis. You'll save weight and space for that. And the reinforce or upgrade the extenders holding the wedges; they kinda look too vulnerable for a HW. 6532

Hmmm... the wedge makes it kinda look different. Check the replica wedges. One of them might fit better for this one. :D

You don't need the pistons since bots barely reach there anyway (the side protection is for a 'just in case' scenario). You can use multi-extenders instead of anchors since they're both invulnerable anyway (and the ME weighs less and takes up less space). You need to strengthen the extenders that hold the wedges, or better yet, use large angled sheets instead. Also, you can protect the motors more if you used the longer versions and mount them directly to the chassis (just ditch the tanks and convert the anchors and you'll get the space). :D

Now that you've got most of the components right, you should rebuild the chassis so you can add wheel protection and possibly more weapons.

You don't need a rear wedge if your bot is fast enough. Now that you've said it, you can use the weight on Technos (be sure to protect them, though). Just drive well and you won't have a problem.

Looks nice. Too bad you need to rebuild the chassis to make it really better. But without altering the chassis shape, raise the motors up a notch so the ground clearance is at its lowest possible. Because of that you don't need the rear stabilizer anymore. Also, if you attached a halfsheet to the skirt with a wedge sticking out of it, if the wedge gets removed, the halfsheet can still function as a wedge.
If you really want it to be good, you should just use a box chassis and have more weapons. 6537

The motors are kinda slow for discs that heavy. Try to use Perms instead.

Sweet. But both bots can be lower. And I think you can do Facet's side bulges from the chassis creation.
I think Mace can be improved, but I don't really know how. Maybe you can turn the front to a wedge shape and raise the burst motor. Not sure about that. My head kinda hurts today. XD 6539

Very interesting design. Pussy wheels don't really give much grip for the weight. You'd be better with bike wheels. Also, the motor looks VERY exposed at that position. use the bigger replica blade to lessen the risk.
You can also use a weaker drive (NPCFs would work) and use 2 Perms instead. Your motors will be more protected and can pack a bigger punch. No idea on how to solve the srimech however. 6540

I used to build realistic LWs and MWs (rammers, pokers and hammers) and pit them against HWs. Got bored. Went to DSL. XD
